Matt's Commandments:

1. Tell, and show people how you feel about them. Just don't kill anybody.
2. Do enough work to get you to where you want to be, but relax too. Get the balance right.
3. Tell the truth, it makes everything a hell of a lot easier. Communicate.
4. Don't worry so much. Everything'll be alright eventually.
5. Take risks. If ya don't, you might look back when you're dead, and be all like, dude, I shoulda done that.
6. See as many places as possible. Else there's not really much point in being on the planet.
7. Sing as loud as you want. Hell, it's your world, you can do what you like, no need to be embarrassed about it.
8. Don't do mean things to other people. Cuz ya know...that's mean :(
9. Be yourself, whether that's "emo", "chav", "goth", "skater", "smelly greeeeebo" or any other stupid stereotype.
10. Do whatever the helck you want if you think it's right.
Matt.

Gwen's 10:

1. Listen to "Lithium". I don't mean listen to it like put it in the CD player, I mean listen to it... nevermind.

2. Don't put your self down. Don't let your friends put you down. And while we're having a love fest, don't hurt your friends, either.

3. Don't steal people's socks in public. I don't care how manic you are.

4. Ask for help when you need it, don't demand it when you don't.

5. Change your underwear every day.

6. Watch Tyra. Yes, even repeats.

7. Deny watching Tyra to everyone. Don't even tell Seymour. If he walks in on you, start masturbating or something.

8. Control your obsessions when you're depressed, and your outbursts when you're not.

9. Don't correct people's grammar. It's obnoxious. You're also probably wrong.

10. If House and Tyra ever collide, you know what you must do. I know it hurts, but Tyra is EVERYTHING.

BONUS COMMANDMENT: Get the mail naked. I dare you.

Kivan's Ten Commandments

You shall be self-sufficient.
You shall never be a burden to anyone.
You shall give help wherever you can.
You shall put others' well-being far before your own.
You shall give (almost) everyone the benefit of the doubt (in non life-or-death situations)
You shall be more than human, better than your blood.
You shall never judge anyone based on appearance, race, or species.
You shall never, never, never "settle down" (note: does not exclude marrige, just forbids the cessation of travel)
You shall be loyal to all who are loyal to you.
You shall not kill in anger, and never harm the innocent.
"In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function...We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful." ~C.S. Lewis

Arlene's 10:

1. Men suck. Fuck them all. Figuratively, of course. You wouldn't want to fuck sucky men. Or any men, since they're all sucky.

2. You can have five minutes a day to rip yourself apart, but no more. Ever.

3. Blog adequately. It's soothing.

4. Watch sufficient crime shows in case you find a body, or decide to be a cop. Similarly, watch reality TV in case you ever end up in an alternate universe.

5. Never work in a cubicle.

6. Try for what you really, really want. Do what you need to to get there, even if it means a job at pizza hut.

7. No smoking, no drugs, yadda yadda yadda.

8. Live by the words of Queen Latifah: "I like Tequila. So what?"

9. Drink lots of water.

10. Love you. You can do it better than he ever could.

Kyle's Ten Commandments


10. Do whatever it takes.

9. Don't needlessly hurt people.

8. Remain calm.

7. If you're going to be in the way, be invaluable.

6. Remember, above all else, that if the butterfly effect is true, then every word you utter will impact people in deep and unpromising ways. If you aren't sure, don't say it.

5. Spurious laughter is good, but laughter you're familiar with is necessary.

4. Reading books won't get you everything. If that weren't true, Jon wouldn't need me.

3. Letting things pass you by is worse than being trampled by them. Even if you get your ass kicked, you'll at least know how to stand next time.

2.

Annabelle's Ten:

- Gentle obedience makes a good wife, and a good wife has a good life.
- Help others, no matter the cost to you.
- Work when tired, work when sick- work to better yourself.
- A student of God is one who reads and loves and revels in His work.
- Do not meddle in the work of others, for it's much too complicated to dream of fixing.
- Closeness to home is closeness to those who need you- and closeness to God.
- Appreciate everything that others give you. Obviously, they mean good by it.
- Show no confusion, weakness, or fear.
- Curiosity killed the cat. (Cat is allegory for "Annabelle".)

*grins* Okay, now an easier one...

ADELAIS' TEN:

- You may be selective about the people you follow oaths of allegiances to. Authority isn't a good choice, but Mr. Smart has a lot of money and is quite attractive. He would be a good choice.
- Dark, isolated rooms are also a selective thing- they are good with people such as Mr. Smart, but very bad things with people such as fathers and brothers.
- Do not deny alchohol, laudanum, or pretty boys. Sweets optional.
- "Church of Virginia" is an institutuion designed to remind you of your own flaws. Avoid at all costs, unless Upton is serving.
- "Class" is another optional institution, unless it is a day for Blackwell's philosophy class. Other than that, "Class"= more time to paint.
- Get to know all that you meet. Once close, they tell you excellent secrets, especially if one's hair is combed.
- Servants do not serve. They are lying, cheating, nasty little things that only serve to get into your way.
- Evangeline is a verboten topic of conversation.
- When people are angry, run like Hell.
- Evangeline is a verboten topic of conversation.
Graffiti is the most passionate form of literature there is.

- Demetri Martin

Wow; I haven't been here in sooo long...who are all these people?!?

Kalli's Ten Commandments:

1) Listen to Una.
2) Follow Commandment 1, even when you really don't want to.
3) Keep your balance. NO DAYDREAMING.
4) Be loyal to your friends, and be prepared to find them in unexpected places.
5) Do everything you can to keep anyone from being hurt on your behalf. Fight your own battles.
6) Stand up for yourself. You're more than an Ultarae, or the daughter of a Stormsinger. We're not sure just what you are, yet, but nonetheless...
7) Follow the truth, no matter where it leads.
8 ) Be honest. It hurts. Be honest anyway. Try really hard.
9) Prepare for the worst, expect the best, and remember, you can talk your way out of almost anything.
10) Do not become what the Witch wants you to be.
True friends stab you in the FRONT. (Oscar Wilde)
